Double Stuff Oreo Lick Race: WIN a Flip 4GB HD Video Recorder!

As an American I grew up with Oreos and it's hard to believe they've only been in the UK for 3 years! Well not that hard to believe for me because I remember being crazy excited when I was able to find them in UK stores and I may or may have not squealed like a tweenage fan girl when I found Double Stuff Oreos at my grocery store and immediately tweeted a picture and then bought 4 packages just in case they weren't there next time. So I guess it's fair to say I freaking love Oreos. I regularly had Oreos and Oreo milkshakes throughout my pregnancy with Blondie Boy and while he hasn't tried them yet (they are egg free so he can eventually!) my Mom craved Oreos when pregnant with me so there must be a genetic link!

So when Oreo got in touch about their Double Stuff Oreo Lick Race I was really excited. Oreo is challenging families to upload their attempts to www.oreolickrace.co.uk and be in with a chance of winning a VIP family trip to Florida. As an added incentive, for every video race uploaded to the website the brand will be donating £1 to the children’s charity, KidsOut who work with children affected by domestic violence. I'm on the Board of Glasgow Women's Aide so I know how much these children need this kind of service.

Entering is easy:

Using a glass of milk and an Oreo cookie, the Lick Race gets two family members competing to finish their Oreo first by following these six, simple steps:

Twist. Lick. Show. Dunk. Eat. Drink.

First you twist, then you lick the creme filling, then once you have shown the “clean” cookie to your opponent, you dunk it in cold milk. Next you eat the cookie and finally, you drink your milk.

Upload your video before July 31st for a chance to win or if you'd rather be a spectator you can take your chance and enter for daily prizes like a Nintendo Wii just by watching!

I'm going out with some of my friends tomorrow and I'm going to have her 6 year old challenge me since Blondie Boy is still a bit too small. No offense to Aedan but I'm pretty sure I have this race all locked up! Who will you race against?

To help you make a video of your race to prove your are the UK's "Most Entertaining Lick Racers" I have an Oreo goodie box with everything you'll need including: Oreos, two rainbow glasses, badges and (wait for it) A FLIP 4GB HD VIDEO CAMERA (with tripod)!

I twist off and eat half the cookie dipped in milk and then eat off the half the cream, repeat the dunking with the other cookie half and finish with the other half of the cream. How do you like them apples?

Well we already do the Milkshake so I'm going to pick that (also good with Baileys)... But We have sort of made our own 'Oreo Bomb' It's a little bit naughty and a lot bit nice... we've just made oreo muffins for the sports Day picnic tomorrow.... I like to experiment lol

I forgot to mention HOW I eat my Oreos. To be honest it depends. Sometimes I eat them whole, then I will eat the next one by pulling it apart and linking the cream. I don't like to tie myself down to one eating option.

My kiddo loves Oreo's. Would it be bad if I admitted that I would love to just leave him alone with the packet and have half an hour of peace? We all twist it, eat the middle and then the biscuits, and then down the milk... mmmm Oreos. Oh, and I alreday follow.

An Oreo has to be soaked in milk before I can fully enjoy it. There is nothing like dunking a whole Oreo in cold milk. I also love to use Oreos in recipes, but let's face it, it's easier to just stand in the kitchen, hovering over a glass of milk and a stack of cookies.

Just checked out Oreo's facebook page. I love the idea of Oreo cheesecake bites. I've used Oreos as the base to a cheesecake (with all the cream scrapped out and the chocolate cookies crushed) but these bites seem easier and also more appropriate to eat yourself! There's something not quite comfortable about digging into a whole cheesecake on your own.

Have subscribed to blog. Okay, confession: I have NEVER eaten an Oreo, I don't think I've seen them in the shops around where I live. But it's a situation I aim to change....will be looking out for them the next time I go shopping.

I follow your blog on GFC (Emma Clarke).When I'm not breaking the Oreo sandwich in two, licking each side of the cookie clean, then ramming the two leftover pieces into my greedy fat gob, I'm breaking Oreos onto vanilla ice cream and enjoying them that way!

I have to dunk - love that soggy texture. And how I eat them.... greedily! Subscribed to blog. Followed publicly. Tweeted as @hgl2510 and now going over to FB. How techy am I beginning to get?? If I've not done any right, just give me a nudge, I'm a techno and comp novice x

American Spirit OREO Cookie Balls recipe ... just think I'd need to hire a chef, boot him/her out the back door as soon as finished and do the huge dah dah reveal to very impressed family and friends lol xx

I have liked the Oreo facebook page. I would like to try to the Oreo cookie crab because we are having a holiday by the sea at the moment and keep looking for crabs on the beach, this one would make an interesting change! @annieanna24
